How do you all get unbiased news for the upcoming election? TV (outside of Fox News) is far left leaning and X is far right leaning (and untrustworthy). To make sure I don’t end up in an echo chamber of partisan spins, I subscribe to some email newsletters (also nice to read while at the office). What does everyone else use? Looking for small news providers preferably (to reduce bias and pressure from corporate interests) that are in the middle/moderate/unbiased zone.

At this point, each candidate has enough demonstrate history that have observed the behavior, words, and policies of both major candidates and their parties.

I find that Trump is not someone that I can relate to meson a social behavioral standpoint. His words I find are unnecessarily strident and vague about the details of how his presidency can/will move America forward. His economic, immigration, national security, world presence, and social policies have proven to be consistent, constructive, and effective.

I find Kamala Harris to be equally unrelatable, but for a very different reason: her presence reflects a person who does not have a True North, a real foundation. She strikes me as someone who is continuously sniffing the air for which breeze to follow for her own advantage. Her words have a deliberate vagueness so she always has the wiggle room to make her words take on whatever contrived message is convenient in the moment. Kamala’s economic, immigration, national security, world presence, and social ideas reflect a sense of desperation du jour.

Excellent observation! I find that regular people are actually more pragmatic and realistic in their views than media. Hence I do ask people I respect their opinion as I always can learn something.

While Politico is left center it is rated high for being factual.

What the heck does this got to do with accounting?!

Try international news channels. They’re far more reaching in terms of the issues they cover and are way less biased compared to many if not all media houses.

Breaking Points with Saagar and Krystal.

Ground News - it is subscription based for articles and pulls them into one place and then provides you information regarding the ownership of the publication which way the bias leans and how much it is being discussed (right, center, left and the percentage). It shows you the different ways headlines are written based on the bias as well. There is also a blind spot section so if you do tend to get your information from one side that you see what the other side is talking about but that isn’t being covered at all (or minimally) on the side you view.

There is no "unbiased news". About anything. (Well, not anymore.)(

Finding an unbiased news source requires one to be unbiased. It takes a lens. Consume numerous sources and then seek differentiation.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

So engineers can now automate the writing of basic code, and potentially more complex tasks, by using GPT-3.

For those who are technical: If machines can write code, how are you going to upskill? And what are the best ways make yourself indispensable?

I am not embracing the notion that you shouldn't have to code to do data science. However, I think coding may soon be much less of a competitive advantage.

Is there something against doing back to back offers at PwC or any of the other big four? I have two accepted offers with PwC next summer and would love to do both if the dates don't overlap (internship and a Masters fellowship). I was told that even if the dates don't overlap when they are announced sometime next year, I may still not be able to do both because of reasons related to the firm?
If this is the case then I may have look for another internship that I can do before the fellowship.
